I beg to differ--I immediately typed that baby in, and got some non-English-typing place of interest! They offered me the English version, so I clicked, and got the English version!I still have no inkling of what the thing IS, though. Here are a couple of statements from the site:

Hmmm...maybe the one I found was something different...Oh well~~ I've never been one to always take anyone's word for something...I'm a "gotta see for myself" type of ornery! I get it from my cats.=^u.u^=But hey--no matter what, it IS a clever way to advertise!

Acording to Wikipedia, Kharov or Kharkiv is a city in Ukraine, not Russia.I thought you geeky types might like this tidbit from the wikipedia article:"LiteratureKharkiv is the unofficial capital of Ukrainian Science fiction and Fantasy. It is the home to popular writers like H. L. Oldie, Oleksandr Zorych, Yyriy Nykytin and Andriy Valentynov. Annual science fiction convention "Star Bridge" (Зірковий міст) is held in Kharkiv since 1999.":-)

Ow, "Cynepmapketbi Poct" made my head hurt until I went to the site to figure out what it meant.It's more like "Supermarkety Rost" if you transliterate, and it just means Supermarkets by the brand name of Rost (growth. the good kind.)The logo actually seems to be for a photography company in Kharkov, which is a city in the Ukraine.

So much for saving me time... I had already a) entered the link as it's displayed on the cake, b) removed the slash at the end to see if that worked, and c) read your comment that the link was broken and was getting ready to tell you the correct link.

Oh man - I was just going to send you the most over-the-top cake I have ever seen - for a Bridal shower - posted by my friend on Facebook. But, it's a wee bit obsence - not horrible, but still! Another day!

The person who ordered this might be partly to blame. If he or she included that final slash (it's a forward slash, not a backslash - a backslash, "\," would never belong in a url), then the decorator may have tried following the link, seen the 404 error, and assumed it was supposed to be literal.

At least the cake doesn't read: "Not FoundThe requested URL /temp/logo.jpg/ was not found on this server.

Oh, here's the url of the picture. Huh, doesn't work. Oooh, maybe THIS is their logo. Makes sense to me! What do I know, I am naive Ukrainian cake maker in the capitol city of Science Fiction and Fantasy!

Oh man if anyone bought that cake I will fall off my chair laughing at them. I cannot believe anyone in their right mind would actually buy that cake with a link that doesn't even work properly lol. Man, I would fire all the wreckerators for that one. Then again they didn't really decorate it just frosted and linked the poor cake... takes pity and eats it lol.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
